bro nothing is garbage, you are doing your best and that it's important.... keep moving forward!!!
Thank you for explaining that both the arduino and stepper motor can be powered from the same 5V external source. I'm an electronics noob, and I just went through like 5 other videos to try to find out how to power both devices, and strangely enough no other video creator bothered to mention the power supply for the arduino. So thank you for clarifying!
I've been looking for so fucking long, a single code that allows me to reverse the stepper direcction and the "crappy" one is the only one that worked, thank you so much
Half-steps and acceleration are fun to play with. You can get the thing spinning faster than it ordinary can, with acceleration control.
For 2 steppers, a ULN2803 has 8 outputs, so you can control two with 1 darlington array.
Awesomeness… love the way you printed out your code and explained.
This guy says he’s not a programmer the same way teachers say their not an artist when drawing, love the content 👌🏻
Haha glad you liked it!
I'm a newbie to all this, your video is brilliant! Explains a lot, understandable and clear! Thank you!!!
Nice video! I like the honest way of presentation.
Yes. For that task, I would go with "attachInterrupt" to change direction whenever a button is pressed.
Whatever happens in the main loop, the interrupt will execute. Even if the mainloop "stuck" in a delay function.
Interrupts always have precedence.
But as you mentioned: the code you shown is not perfect. I really like the honest way of your presentation.
Your focus was on the very basic operation of the stepper and the code.
Mission accomplished! 😊
Thank you for this tutorial. Simple, to the point, amazing job :D!
Thanks, I just wanted to find a way to make the motor constantly rotate, forever and your code was the easiest one !
I really enjoyed your class, congratulations! I have a question what is the maximum speed of this engine?
Thank you very helpful tutorial
Thank you for the help!
absolute life saver, thank you
How about a switches on the end of the stick, one on each side, if you could measure the time between each switch activation, it would work like a white stick for a blind person, on a mobile base his could find its way through an obstacle course.... A mechanical radar...
What do you think?
i really enjoyed your video!!!
For this motor do you HAVE to have it connected to an arduino? I have a motor speed control circuit and have it connected from the power to that. Then I am running the connections to the stepper motor board and it wont turn on :(
These motors are common in microwaves, but in a 120 V version. They are very strong. Thanks for the code! Just getting started on Arduinos. Great work, your imagination is very impressive!
did the code work well?
@@user-bk3zj2wd4d I am still getting organized while i learn. I haven't had time just yet, but will let you know. Thanks for the follow up!
5:10 So, if I need only it spinning on the lower speed in a constant motion, do I have to use an Arduino? All I need is it spinning in the lowest speed possible for my project. Other motors (DC motors) are way to loud and stepper motors are really quiet in comparison. Would it suffice only using the ULN2003 and the stepper motor? Maybe a turn on/off button maybe?
can i use it for my diy 3d printer?
How is it possible to rotate the motor 18degress each time the button is pressed? Thank you
Maybe make a practical application for this. Is this viable for RC projects? Like, servos run rutters, steering, etc, maybe this and the code you made will make something run semi-autonomous?
thanks, I'm going to use this for an automatic dog feeder
I can think of two things:
First, kind of an art thing. Picture this, a 3X 5 canvas where there's two of those servos, one on each side kind of pretending to paddle a ping pong ball back and forth.
The other idea, something practical. Like having a motion sensor trigger the servo to wave a flag. You know something fun. 👍
great video thx
Hello, Why my stepper.h library not working? I tried accelstepper and it work just fine.
I need a stepper faster than that. Is that as fast as it goes?
Ok, newbe here!! My problem is everytime I compile the code it errors. It says "compilation error: expected '}' at end of input. Last of the code is ..... stepperName.step(stepsPerRevolution / 4);
delay(50);
buttonPressed = true;
} What is wrong with this? By the way love your videos!!
I have just come acroos your channel so havnt had a proper look. But if you havnt, could you do a tutorial om how to automticly have the motor speed up to x speed for x time and then slow down to a stop using a push button. Could you also show how to code a button press to slow and then stop the motor even if it hasnt got to full speed. I make funfair models for a hobby (I have videos on my channel) And my next project requires one button to start and stop the model.
I have 2 of these motors and I want to control them using the Arduino uno and a gyroscope mpu6050 , do I need an external power supply to power them or cable connected to the PC and 5v from Arduino should be fine ? Please answer
depends on the load - when in doubt, just use an external supply
Hi, I have 12V stepper motor. I'm new about this so when the staff asked me if I want to buy 5V or 12V..I bought 12V. Can I connect the 12 V stepper motor to 5V power supply on Arduino Mega?
You can try but it will be quite low power if it works at all
When i turn on my stepper motor , it just vibrates bit the shaft doesnt rotate , does anybody experience the same issue ?
What you should do is check
* the connections -> PIN 1/2/3/4 of the ULN-Board must go to PIN 8/9/10/11 on the Arduino
* the code (6:05) -> the order of the pins is important -> Stepper stepperName = Stepper(stepsPerRev, 8, 10, 9, 11);
* the value of the speed -> stepperName.setSpeed(15) - in my test/case a value higher than 15 let the motor losing steps
if are all correct and the motor doesn't work correctly, check the power for the motor. The motor (I've got today) has a consumption of 330mA at 3 to 7 volts. In my case I've connected the motor to a 9V block-batterie.
Great video with clear explanations. I'll have to probe my XYL for Holiday decoration ideas. One suggestion -- Please find a place to rest your hands.

I'm half-french, I can't talk without my hands
I have an application, where I need to apply 14oz of force (pull or push, I assume is the same diff) to trigger a switch. Can this stepper motor do that or do I need a different/better one? If so, any suggestions?
Torque is the issue ... not Force. So how far away from the axis of the stepper motor does this have to happen?
@@davidbroadfoot1864 Assuming a small gear or pulley were attached to the spindle of this stepper motor and it was tied (with a string) to a 14oz weight (the stepper motor being fixed to a board or something), could it pull hard enough to reel in that 14oz weight? I assume a 14oz weight is 14oz, regardless if it's parallel to the stepper motor or on the floor, etc.
Wow. Awesone. Exactly what I need for blinking on robot eyes. I'm a year on, but as an arduino dunce (I can tweak but not write) could you pretty please nicely write a code that will blink eyes, a little faster and with say, 10 seconds intervals once switch activated to run permanently until deactivated? Well, you kindly offered. Btw I think your clip is brilliant. Even a simpleton like me can grasp it. I've brought you a choc orange just for the video, great. Don't worry if its a problem to write code. Cheers. :)
I am glad you liked the video but I am not in any shape to be taking on commissions at this time! check out the Arduino forums and reddit for some help! Make sure you give it your best shot before posting your code over there for help - but I am confident you can get it done - good luck!
Once you get your code working, the next step is to challenge yourself to make your code textually less repetitious. Rather than two functions to tell the stepper backward and forward, write one function and pass the "backward" or "forward" direction to it. It's been a year, so you might have moved on.
Ｉlove this guy, he is funny and informative!
Thank you!
Hi, what I am looking for is my stepper motor to start with a switch running clockwise and stop after about 5 full 360 turns, for an indefinite period of time, then it will reverse when the switch is turned off back to it original position. Could you help me?
Sure, which part of your code isn't working? You can email me what you have so far and what it is doing and I'll have a look
@@SimpleElectronics I don't have any code as I have never done anything like this in my 63 years on planet earth. Totally new to this stepper motor stuff.
Ah well, surely you understand that I can't really build projects for everyone who asks me to, but that's why I make these videos, to empower you to build your own projects! I think the information in this video will get you pretty much exactly where you need to go!
@@SimpleElectronics I do understand, all I asking for is to write a code that will allow the stepper motor to turn clockwise 5 turns when I switch it on and then stop. Then when I turn it off it should turn counter clockwise 5 turns and stop. Then if I do run into trouble I will turn to you for guidance, if it is ok with you.
@@ralphrego7470 Sounds good, I believe in you!
i have a crap ton of ULN2003's now i know what to do with them
Once you use the arduino to write the code to the controller, can you unplug the arduino ?
No sir, the Arduino is constantly controlling the motor - the chip only turns the signals into a source strong enough to power the motor
@@SimpleElectronics Thankyou!
Isn't that ic a Darlington pair
Make a variable speed photogrammetry table?
have you done it yet?
@@jmakes3174 Me?
Yes and wrote a guide and posted it on hackster.io
mine gets incredibly hot when running at 12v
Help my motor vibrates but doesn't spin
Is it hooked up fully? Are you sending the pulses too fast? try adding some delay.
It don't have to be pretty, just as long as it works.
"Oh, I made a mistake"
Well you have constantly warned people not to use the garbage code
Don't blindly use a mechanic's code, basically
